Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between psychiatry and psychology?
Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. Psychologists provide therapy but typically don't prescribe. Both treat mental health conditions, often working together.
Will I need medication?
Not everyone does. We evaluate your situation and discuss options. Medication is one tool among many; the decision is made together based on your needs.
How long will I need to take medication?
It varies. Some conditions require short-term treatment; others benefit from longer-term management. We regularly reassess need and adjust accordingly.
Are psychiatric medications addictive?
Most psychiatric medications (antidepressants, mood stabilizers) are not addictive. Some (benzodiazepines, stimulants) require careful use. We discuss risks with any medication.
Will medication change my personality?
The goal is to relieve symptoms while preserving your personality. Proper medication should help you feel more like yourself, not less.
Can I stop medication when I feel better?
Stopping suddenly can cause problems. When it's time to discontinue, we do so gradually and safely. Always discuss before stopping.
Is psychiatric treatment confidential?
Yes. Your treatment is private, with information shared only with your consent (except rare safety exceptions).
